Siga o Vagalume

Little girl with the press and curlAge eight I got a Jheri curlThirteen I got a relaxerI was a source of so much laughterAt fifteen when it all broke offEighteen and went all naturalFebruary two thousand and twoI went and didWhat I had to doBecause it was time to change my lifeTo become the women that I am insideNinety-seven dreadlocks all goneI looked in the mirrorFor the first time and saw that HEY....

I am not my hairI am not this skinI am not your expectations no noI am not my hairI ma not this skinI am a soul that lives within

I don't think I'll ever buy another comb, if it means I'll be pigeon-holed,Hair grows no matter what you do, and don't you wish that people did too?Black or pink or blue and green, change is scary, but worth it believe me,Never really even gave it much thought, I'm sorry it's so important to y'all... but HEY....

Breast Cancer and ChemotherapyTook away her crown and gloryShe promised God if she was to surviveShe would enjoy everyday of her life oohOn national televisionHer diamond eyes are sparklingBald headed like a full moon shiningSinging out to the whole wide world like HEY...

[Chorus 2x]

If I wanna shave it closeOr if I wanna rock locksThat don't take a bit awayFrom the soul that I gotDat da da dat da [4x]If I wanna where it braidedAll down my backI don't see what wrong with thatDat da da dat da [4x]
